Chapter Twenty-Two: The Sinister Feeling

-Kat's POV-

I slowly groaned feeling my whole body ache with pain. I tried to open my heavy eye lids; they just didn't seem to obey my orders. I slowly opened them and my eyes were met with the all too familiar ceiling from this morning, I frowned angrily. I could still feel some of my wounds burning…strange…why haven't I healed yet? I slowly tried to sit up whimpering out in pain as I slowly sat up. I suddenly felt an arm wrap around my waist helping me sit up right.

"Don't push yourself, you are still severely hurt." I heard Byakuya's voice come from beside me. I could hear the concern in his voice and felt my heart fluttered at the thought of Byakuya being worried about me.

"What happened?" I questioned softly. I was finally able to sit up right. I looked at my bandage arms and realized I was wearing a white robe instead of my clothes. "Did you…did you change me?" I questioned a little nervously.

"No, Captain Unohana did. I figured you wouldn't want me seeing you, even though I'm sure there is nothing new to see." Byakuya clarified. My eye twitched annoyed at Byakuya's last comment.

"That's not the point, doesn't matter what you have or haven't seen! Forget you ever saw that!" I muttered annoyed looking away from him embarrassed. I remember then about the fight and I quickly looked at Byakuya concerned. "What about Eita? Did he get arrest?" I questioned scared.

"No." Byakuya answered bluntly sitting down beside me. "Lieutenant Hisagi reported that Eita fled the scene when he felt more shinigami coming. He left you behind, yet you don't seem angry at him." Byakuya stated a little annoyed at Eita's actions.

"He must have felt you coming…figured I was better off with you." I mumbled softly looking at my lap. I noticed I wasn't wearing my mother's bracelet or Ichigo's. I panicked thinking I had lost them. That's why I haven't healed.

"Your stuff, they are on the table." Byakuya commented softly pointing at the table.

I tried to stand up, but it was no use, everything hurt too much to move. I turned to look at Byakuya nervously. I sighed softly getting the courage to actually look at Byakuya. I stared at his long black hair, which was kept up by the intricate white headpieces, kenseikan. It symbolizes his nobility as the head of the Kuchiki family, wearing one on top of his head and another on the right side. I wonder what his hair would feel like…soft…smooth…I wonder if I already know the feeling…? He is also wearing the standard captain uniform along with a white scarf (A/N: About Byakuya's scarf, in some places it says it's light green, but in bleach wikia it says white. So, I'm sticking to white). He is also wearing fingerless white tekkou that cover only the back of his hands.

"Can, you, um, give me my bracelets, please?" I questioned softly.

Byakuya stood up walking towards the chair gently grabbing my mother's bracelet and also grabbed Ichigo's bracelet. He walked back towards me handing them back to me gently. I placed my mother's bracelet on my right wrist and gently clipped Ichigo's on my other wrist. I closed my eyes taking a deep breath.

"Mizu." I whispered softly letting my hair and eyes change color whilst water covered my wounds. They slowly started to heal. I sighed relief feeling the pain going away. After a couple of minutes of healing myself I let myself go back to normal. I opened my eyes again and noticed Byakuya looking at me strangely.

"What was that?" Byakuya questioned surprised.

"My powers." I replied softly. I was finally able to move freely without feeling any pain.

"You healed Eita and the ryoka that night." Byakuya stated seriously.

"Yes. I almost died healing them…but I healed them." I explained softly remembering that night.

"Why didn't you let them die?" Byakuya questioned.

"Eita is my best friend and like a brother I never had. Ichigo…will…I love him. Isn't that what you do for someone you love? You are willing to give up everything for them?" I questioned softly touching the bracelet Ichigo gave me.

"The orange hair ryoka…what is he to you?" Byakuya questioned slowly.

I looked at him, "My boyfriend." I replied speaking the truth. But for some reason, I felt guilty for telling him so straight forward. Why was I feeling guilty? I don't understand. "Are you angry?" I questioned softly. If Eita and he are telling me the truth…then he hearing I moved on…must really hurt.

"No." Byakuya simply replied sighing softly. His slate gray eyes stared into mine softly. "If I also moved on a long time ago…I see no reason why you shouldn't have been able to move on." Byakuya replied softly. But I could sense the angry and hurt in his reply. I looked up at him feeling that guilt again. I couldn't stand being the source of his pain.

"I don't mean to hurt you on purpose." I whispered remorsefully. "I-I-I just don't remember anything. I wish I could remember…remember what we had…but I can't." I whispered softly. "The only thing I know is my heart feels something for you, something that my mind has long forgot. But I also know my feelings for Ichigo are true." I explained myself.

"What would you do if you remembered?" Byakuya questioned softly. "I don't believe that would change how you feel about Kurosaki Ichigo, it would only make you realized the deep love you had for me." Byakuya explained softly. Byakuya sat down beside me placing his hand gently onto my cheek.

I stared into his slate gray eyes. My heart was beating like a jack rabbit at Byakuya's touch. My palms were sweating, I was nervous.

"Do you believe knowing what you felt for me, would make anything easier?" Byakuya questioned softly cupping my cheek. I was scared he might try to kiss me again. I don't know I have it in me to hit him again. I think Byakuya noticed my nervousness and leaned back slightly. "I will not kiss you again, unless you tell me to." Byakuya assured me.

"Why, why did you bring me here...Captain Kuchiki?" I questioned confuse. I knew he hated to be called by his first name. I didn't wish to upset him for some strange reason.

"Byakuya." Byakuya simply replied. "You have always called me Byakuya. I see no reason why you should stop now." Byakuya explained to me softly. "You may not remember your love for me. But, I remember very clearly my feelings for you. I swore I would never let anything happen to you, I'm keeping my promise…I made to you." Byakuya explained seriously standing up. Byakuya walked to the doors stopping at it. "Change and shower, I'll make sure breakfast is ready. Also, try not to run away again." Byakuya muttered stepping out of his room.

I slowly got up from the bed looking around the huge room. I made my way towards the chair looking at my clean clothes. I removed all of the bandages from my, now, healed body. I walked into the huge bathroom looking around it strangely. I got that strange feeling of being in here before, again. I hate getting this feeling. I quickly took my shower stepping out and changed into my clothes. I stepped in front of the mirror looking at my reflection. My eyes widen in confused when my hair suddenly changed to gold and my eyes turned bright gold.

"Suna?" I whispered confused.

I hissed out in pain when my head started to throb in pain. I placed both of my hands on my head trying to stop the throbbing in my head. I doubled over in pain holding my hands in place.

"Kat?" I heard Byakuya's concern voice come from the open door.

"Byakuya." I whimpered out in pain holding my head. Byakuya stepped forward placing his hand on my shoulder. Suddenly images ran through my head at his touch.

-Flashback-

Kat stood in front of Byakuya's mirror brushing her recent showered hair. Kat giggled happily when a younger Byakuya appeared behind her wrapping his arms around her waist. Byakuya softly placed his chin on Kat's shoulder looking at his reflection in the mirror.

"Nervous about becoming Mrs. Kuchiki?' Byakuya mumbled asked her shoulder.

Kat smiled happily at her black hair lover.

"No, just, really excited." Kat stated truthfully. She wasn't nervous at all about marrying Byakuya. She knew what she wanted, no questions asked. She knew what she felt for him. She wants to marry Byakuya.

-End of Flashback-

I looked up at Byakuya a little confused and dizzy at the sudden images that flashed through my mind. Byakuya wrapped his arm around my waist helping me out of the bathroom. He gently sat me down on the chair making sure I was alright.

"Are you alright?" Byakuya questioned concerned.

"My head hurts." I muttered softly rubbing my temples.

"Unohana said it would be normal for your head to hurt. It would mean you are starting to remember." Byakuya spoke a little relief.

"You sound happy at that thought." I muttered softly

"It would make things a lot easier between us." Byakuya replied.

"But, it would make things more complicated between Ichigo and me." I countered seriously.

"Come, you should eat some breakfast. It will help you get your memories back." Byakuya stated seriously leading the way out of his room. I looked at my bracelet noticing it went back to normal. I will have to talk with Suna about this later…I don't understand why I went into Suna mode. I slowly walked out after Byakuya following him to the dining room for breakfast.

-Elsewhere-

Eita yawned tiredly lying down on a roof. Yoruichi jumped onto his stomach looking at Eita seriously. Eita glared at her sitting up right.

"You did a shit of a job keeping my body in shape." Eita spat angrily at Yoruichi.

"If I remember correctly it was Kisuke who trained you for the most part, I barely started to train you." Yoruichi correct him slyly.

"You call that training?! You were trying to kill me!" Eita hissed annoyed.

"How much do you remember, Eita?" Yoruichi questioned seriously.

"Well for starters, you aren't a cat." Eita stated. "Why are you even that form? But, I remember everything." Eita added shrugging. Eita stood up looking towards the senzaikyu yawning a little.

"Keeps me better hidden." Yoruichi stated in her manly voice.

"Right." Eita muttered annoyed. "I haven't felt Kurosaki's reiatsu in a while. They must be hidden." Eita spoke thoughtful. "Kat seems to be doing better." Eita also added relief.

"Did you ever doubt it? Byakuya would never let anything happen to Kat. She was his first love, that's not something you forget easily." Yoruichi reminded Eita jumping onto his shoulder.

"Kat seems to have forgotten about him very easily." Eita muttered annoyed.

"Memory loss isn't something you can control, Eita." Yoruichi stated seriously.

"I know. I just think…Byakuya is better for Kat. Byakuya doesn't hold her back. Byakuya pushes her to move forward. Ichigo…he never lets Kat try, he just wants to protect her." Eita spoke seriously.

"It's not your place to decide for her." Yoruichi stated.

"I know." Eita spoke annoyed. "Let's go, Kat will find an opportunity to escape Byakuya and meet us at the senzaikyu." Eita spoke seriously jumping off towards the senzaikyu.

-With Ichigo-

Ichigo lay down on the cold ground staring at the ceiling of the dim lighted tunnel, his arms resting behind his neck. He focused on trying to find Kat's reiatsu. Since yesterday that he felt Kat's reiatsu fade away slowly he became concerned, fearing the worst. Ichigo closed his eyes sighing softly when he could feel Kat's reiatsu become stronger.

"She's fine. Don't worry Kat…I'll find you." Ichigo vowed to himself seriously. "I'm almost to the senzaikyu, you'll surely be there already waiting for me." Ichigo tried to assure himself. "Be careful Kat." Ichigo thought seriously. "There is still something I need to say back to you, something I should have told you when you woke up from the coma." Ichigo thought turning onto his side whilst his fingertips softly ran over the carrot locket.

-Kat's POV-

"Where are we going?" I questioned confused as we walked around the deserted Kuchiki manor.

"Your favorite place in the manor." Byakuya explained amicably. I walked alongside him looking around the huge gardens. I stopped looking at the small pond with a couple of flowers planted around it. I smiled softly looking at the ground getting that relaxed feeling of being here before.

I looked to my side a little surprised when I felt someone grab my hand softly waiting to see if I would pull it away or not. It felt strange, good strange though. I looked up at him trying to figure out what he was thinking or at least feeling. Damn him, he really is a hard person to figure out. Byakuya tugged on my hand pulling me towards another direction in the garden. I gasped a little surprised when we reached a garden that was secluded away from the main garden. I slowly walked over to the white bench in the middle of the beautiful small garden. I walked around it softly, my hand softly brushing over the white bench. I looked up at Byakuya a little confused at how relaxed I felt here.

"Why does it feel like I've been here before?" I questioned confused.

"This was your favorite place to come when you wanted to be alone. I purposed to you here, too." Byakuya explained.

I walked around the garden looking at the white chrysanthemum flowers and the other different colors of chrysanthemum flowers. I looked up at the huge sakura tree that leaned over the bench casting a nice shadow over it. I looked down at the bench and then back at Byakuya.

"Why won't you save Rukia?" I questioned softly. "Why not keep Hisana's promise you made to her?"

"How do you know about Hisana?" Byakuya questioned shocked.

Oh snap. Uh, what do I say?

"It's, um, complicated…I really can't go into detail." I muttered softly.

"Even with your memories gone, you still say the same things." Byakuya spoke amused.

"Why are you doing this?" I questioned softly looking at him.

"I want you to remember. I spent over a 100 years thinking you were dead. I spent several years mourning your death. I spent months fight away my feelings for Hisana, I didn't think it was fair to get over you. After I finally gave in to my feelings for Hisana, she became ill and passed away. I spent another several years mourning Hisana's death." Byakuya explained seriously stepping towards me. He stood in front of me removing some of my hair from my face placing it behind my ear gently. "At first, I felt like I was betraying you and your memory…" Byakuya started off slowly.

"You shouldn't feel guilty about it…" I interrupted him softly. "They say you can love two people at the same time…before I never really paid much attention to that saying. Actually, I thought that wasn't possible. But, now…" I spoke softly. "I don't remember anything…but, I get this feeling around you. Somewhere deep down inside of me I know I love you. But I just can't remember that feeling. But, I know I love Ichigo." I explained softly. "If I moved on, I see no reason why you couldn't have." I explained softly holding his hand. I smiled softly at him.

We stood in silence looking at each other.

"I have to go." I whispered softly holding his hand. "I have to help Eita save Rukia." I spoke seriously.

"I can't let you go." Byakuya replied seriously. "Yesterday you were lucky I was looking for you. Staying by my side keeps you safe." Byakuya explained seriously. "Nobody harms you because I brought you into this family long ago…you were to be my wife…people respect you because of that." Byakuya explained seriously.

I looked at him sadly pulling my hand away from him.

"If you loved Hisana why not keep her promise?" I questioned a little angry. "Rukia is dating my best friend; Rukia is my best friend, too. I won't let anything happen to her." I spoke seriously looking into his slate gray eyes.

"I see. That's why Eita is so serious about saving Rukia. He isn't doing it for you, because you are helping the orange hair ryoka. No, he's doing it because he fell in love with Rukia." Byakuya stated seriously.

"Why else would anyone risk their lives for someone?" I whispered softly touching my chest where the scars Ichigo and Eita were supposed to have where at.

I stepped towards Byakuya placing my hand gently on his cheek and felt the warmth surge through my body again. I closed my eyes softly, feeling my heart content. But, it also felt guilty…I'm with Ichigo, I'm dating Ichigo. I love Ichigo and I have sworn myself to him.

"Maybe, if I had remembered things from long ago…we could have been something, again. I love Ichigo now. I want to be with him now." I whispered softly. "I'm sorry…about this." I added softly. "Kaji."

I opened my bright red eyes staring in his slate gray eyes. They were filled with hurt…heartbreak. My heart started to cringe in pain at the sight of his gray eyes. I pulled away from him stumbling to put some distance between us. A wall of flames formed in between us separating us. I stared at him through the burning flames feeling regret course through my body again. A part of me didn't want to leave his side. Suddenly my vision blurred up. I slowly brought the back of my hand to my eyes. I was shocked when I felt something warm and wet on my hand. I pulled my hand away looking at the tear drops on my hand. I…I…I was crying…? Why was I crying? I quickly made a run for it before I regretted leaving Byakuya's side. I jumped out of the Kuchiki manor looking around the empty streets. I grabbed a fist full of my shirt feeling the pain in my chest intensify. My tears wouldn't stop. They just keep pouring out of my eyes like a freaking waterfall. Why do I feel like this?! It feels like a piece of my heart has been taken away! I suddenly froze in my spot shocked. I looked up at the distance looking at the white towers in the center of Seireitei.

"Ichigo…" I spoke scared. I quickly ran towards Ichigo feeling his reiatsu raising. No, he was already fighting against Renji! I quickly ran down the streets of Seireitei as fast as my legs would take me.

"Catalina-chan."

I stopped dead in my tracks. My body went rigid with fear, all of my blood left my body as I became pale. It felt like I've just seen a ghost, oh how I wish it was a ghost. But no, it's someone much worse. Suddenly that voice caused me to remember something that had happen months ago. I've heard that voice once before already. I slowly turned around. My grayish-bluish hues stared into a pair of sinister brown-chocolate eyes. Those eyes had me paralyzed in fear, I couldn't move. I couldn't run. I couldn't yell. I was suddenly wishing I hadn't left Byakuya's side, he was right, I was saver by his side.

-Flashback-

(A/N: This flashback is from chapter 8, it's to help you jog your memory.)

I stopped walking when my phone went off and I opened it seeing there was a hollow nearby. I texted Eita saying I would take care of it.

Kat: I'll take care of it =P

Eita: Whatever don't screw up =P

Oh nice support, ass. I ran off to the direction where the hollow was at and saw it about to attack a soul.

"Kage!" I shouted. My eyes turned bright violet whilst my hair turned pitch black. I ran towards the hollow whilst moving my hands around. Shadows shot out towards the hollow wrapping around him holding him down and with my own shadow turned it into a sharp spear slicing his head in half.

"She's perfect just like I thought."

I turned around looking around the area when I heard that voice in my head. It sounded so familiar. I just didn't know where I've heard it before. I looked around confused and let my hair and eyes go back to their normal color. I looked around one last time and headed back home. That was strange. It felt like someone was watching me and then that voice…how did I hear that voice?

-End of Flashback-

"Aizen…" I whispered staring at the brown scholarly hair captain. His squared glasses gave off a small glimmer

A lump formed in my throat. The whole air was filled with a sinister reiatsu…such a sinister feeling. How can no one feel such evil radiating off of him?

"Taking by the fact you haven't attacked me yet…you really don't remember what happened long ago?" Aizen questioned amused taking slow steps towards me.

Every step he took towards me, I took one back scared.

"But, if you don't remember anything…why are you so scared of me?" Aizen questioned amused.

I kept stepping backwards when it happened. My back ran into a wall. Oh god, this is the end. Aizen stepped towards me standing in front of me, looking at me through his squared glasses. He seemed pleased to see me.

"So tell me, Catalina-chan, why are you so scared of me if you know nothing about me?" He questioned.

"I-I-I don't know what you're talking about." I was able to stammer out scared.

"You have always had my interest…there was something different about you, even now your reiatsu is still different from everyone." Aizen stated seriously.

Someone help me, please.

Aizen was about to grab my arm when he suddenly stopped.

"Hm, even though you don't remember him, he still does everything in his power to make sure you are alright." Aizen muttered amazed. "First love, such a silly thing really. Oh well, I will see you around Catalina-chan. Say hello to Eita for me, tell him, I'm waiting." Aizen smirked sinisterly walking away.

He doesn't know about me, not being from here…

Violeta's AKA Obscurestar's News/Ideas/Random Stuff Section:

Hope you guys enjoyed the Bya/Kat moments. Aizen has finally appeared and what could he possibly want with Kat. Does he or doesn't he know about Kat not being from the bleach dimension. Stay tune to find out more and get the answers to these questions :D

Fun facts about this chapter:

-Music inspiration for this chapter "First Love" by: Utada Hikaru and "Somebody That I Used to Know" by: Gotye Ft. Kimbra

-I'm actually cheering for Byakuya at this point, since Kat's and Byakuya's love just seems so cute.

-I felt like I'm rushing The Sneak Entry Arc in this chapter anybody else? Or do you guys feel it's fine at this pace or would you like to see more things from the original bleach plot?

1. Remember to vote on the poll in my profile:

-Do you think Kat should keep her fullbring abilities.

-Do you think Kat should lose her fullbring abilities and become a shinigami.

-Do you think Kat should lose her fullbring abilities and become a visored.

2. Byakuya's and Kat's song is "First Love" by: Utada Hikaru. I still haven't found one for Kat and Ichigo.

3. Thinking of making a deviantart so all of you can see how I drew Eita, Kat, Kat's bracelet and her spirits, and anything else that isn't part of the original Bleach story line. Not sure yet, but, I'm thinking I probably will, just not sure when.

4. So, there are only a couple of chapters lifted for The Sneak Entry Arc. Soon The Rescue Arc will begin and things will get a lot more interesting!

Byez guys, I'm not sure when I'll update again but keep an eye open for it :D
